Improved Features of WordPress 3.2 – Free Blogging Software

WordPress recently released the latest version of its free blogging software that is used by millions of bloggers around the world. The latest version of WordPress i.e. v3.2 looks somewhat like the previous version but has many new features embedded in it, it loads much faster than v.3.1 and that is prime reason why I recommend every blogger to upgrade their WordPress core.

Key Features and Improvements in WordPress 3.2

Supports for PHP 5.2.4+ and MySQL 5

The new WordPress 3.2 free blogging software supports PHP 5.2.4+ and MySQL 5 databases, it has dropped support for any previous version of PHP and MySQL therefore before upgrading WordPress core to v3.2 one must ensure that their hosting company supports PHP 5.2.4+ and MySQL 5 databases.

New Blogging Layout

WordPress has refreshed the look and feel of almost every space in the software. WordPress 3.2 has a new and improved admin panel, dashboard view, post editor view, plugin setup page, themes view, menus and settings panel. These pages load much faster that they used to in WordPress 3.1 therefore switching to different section of WordPress would be a lot faster now.

Provision for Distraction Free Writing

With so many options in the WordPress post editor, it becomes quite difficult to concentrate and write a good blog post therefore WordPress has added a distraction free post editor in this version. The distraction free post editor gives you a clean writing space where you can write thoughtful blog posts, quality rich content.

It is a very important feature for any blogger, there are loads of distractions and I suggest that if a blogger want to do some serious writing, he should devote all his energies into writing because then only he would be able to create some real good content.

Auto Upgrading

Developers are now focusing on upgrading only the changed files instead of the entire package which would make upgrading your WordPress Core less hectic.

Twenty Eleven WordPress Theme

Twenty Eleven Free Customizable WordPress Theme

For casual bloggers it also has a customizable Twently Eleven theme which has minimalist graphics and is perfect for anyone interested in writing casual blog posts. It has provisions for custom colors, custom menus and custom setting therefore it is a really nice and flexible WordPress Theme.

WordPress 3.2 has some great improvement from its previous versions, it is definitely recommended to upgrade your WordPress core to the latest version of WordPress, and you can download WordPress 3.2 Beta 1 [here].
